I'm also desperate.
Chapter 940 Slave Contract
Missing home?
The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes. This was getting interesting.
This woman was trapped by him in the underground secret passage. Could it be that she didn't know… that the Nian family had already been suborned? With the help of that insidious woman, Ming, he had already subdued the Nian family.
Now, the Hong division supports not your Fifth Imperial Sister, but me, the Seventh Prince!
The Seventh Prince coldly smiled and walked forward. The dark underground secret passage in front of him seemed to be clearing the way for him. Mechanisms shifted, and the stone passageway rumbled and deformed, opening up a straight path for him.
And at the end of the road, at its exit, was unexpectedly… the Hong division's Nian manor, Nian Tianjiao's residence!
Crisis was approaching!
…
Hong division, Nian manor.
Ming extended her index finger and gently lifted the Fifth Imperial Daughter's chin.
Looking at the scarred woman in front of her, Ming grinned.
"Looking closely, Your Highness the Fifth Imperial Daughter is indeed quite uniquely beautiful…"
"Pui!"
She spat, the saliva landing on Ming's face, interrupting her words.
But Ming's expression didn't change in the slightest. Smiling, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from her face.
"I've experienced even dirtier and more vulgar things. Insults of this level from Your Highness the Fifth Imperial Daughter are like a child throwing a tantrum to me. I don't feel any humiliation at all."
Ming was stating a fact, but the Fifth Imperial Daughter thought Ming was taking the opportunity to humiliate her.
That imposing madwoman in front of Fang Yue and the others was now so weak that she couldn't even move a finger.
Her intuition hadn't been wrong.
The Seventh Prince, that monster, was indeed not someone she should be encountering at her current state.
But she had no choice. After resolving the Fourth Prince, after breaking that tacit balance, she had also become someone else's prey!
The Fifth Imperial Daughter had never imagined that the Seventh Prince and the Sixth Prince would die together in her own residence, but she also hadn't imagined that the Seventh Prince would enter the underground secret passage, and that his familiarity with the underground secret passage would far exceed hers!
"Miscalculation… If it weren't for, if it weren't for being careless, how could I have ended up in such a state? If I hadn't been betrayed by the Nian family, I would never have ended up in this state!"
The Fifth Imperial Daughter gnashed her teeth, but covered in bloodstains, she had exhausted all her strength and emptied all her trump cards during her escape through the underground secret passage.
Now, she didn't even have the ability to move, and could only be slaughtered.
However, although the Fifth Imperial Daughter's remarks were very indignant and angry, Ming listened as if she was listening to a joke, giggling straight.
"If it weren't for, if it weren't for, Your Highness the Fifth Imperial Daughter, if there were so many 'if it weren't fors' in this world, where would so many losers come from? Life only comes once. If you take the wrong step and go down the wrong road, then you deserve such an end, don't you?"
Listening to these words, the Fifth Imperial Daughter was so angry that she couldn't wait to tear this woman who humiliated her into pieces, but the reality was that she could only stare at Ming with wide eyes, at most with a fierce expression.
"Don't look at me like that. Wait until I finish speaking. But well, in this world, there are winners, there are losers, and naturally, there are also behind-the-scenes manipulators who like to operate. And coincidentally, I like to be the operator…"
"It's just that you don't have the ability to enter the game, right! A mere mortal!"
The Fifth Imperial Daughter interrupted with a sneer, but Ming shrugged, not caring much, and continued, "So, Your Highness the Fifth Imperial Daughter, are you willing to fail like this? You're very lucky. Right now, I happen to have a precious… human medicine on hand that can restore most of your strength. Although it's just experimental, I think that compared to being captured without a fight, you'd rather fight to the death, right?"
Looking at the ceramic bottle Ming took out, the Fifth Imperial Daughter sneered, "Do you know? The first time I saw you, I thought you were a disgusting woman. But you understand men too well. You played the Nian family father and son like puppets. Even I couldn't intervene, otherwise it would damage my relationship with the Nian family. I've always been wary of this hidden danger, but I didn't expect to fall here in the end."
Ming shook the medicine bottle: "Thank you for the compliment, so what's your answer?"
For the first time, the Fifth Imperial Daughter's cold gaze moved from Ming to Nian Tianjiao, who was standing next to Ming, the pillar of the Nian family on the surface, known as the unparalleled Tianjiao!
As long as Ming gave an order, this man would not hesitate to blast her head with a punch, without regard for her status as an imperial daughter.
So, the Fifth Imperial Daughter spoke.
"...Do I have a choice?"
"Straightforward! But before that, we'd better… sign a valuable contract."
Ming took out a piece of paper.
With just one glance, the Fifth Imperial Daughter recognized what it was.
"A slave contract? You really dare to do it! Aren't you afraid of the backlash from the imperial bloodline in my body?"
"I am afraid, so the one who will sign the contract with you is… my husband."
The Fifth Imperial Daughter's expression darkened. This woman had even calculated this step. Just how far had she investigated our imperial family?
"Don't worry, I've changed the date. One month. After one month, the contract will automatically become invalid. How about it? Very generous, right?"
"It's just a matter of words."
The Fifth Imperial Daughter sneered at her, but facing the contract that Ming handed over, she could only dip her finger in blood and sign her name.
Because she really had no choice.
Although she didn't know what method the Seventh Prince used, no matter how she hid in the underground secret passage, the Seventh Prince would find her.
This time was the same. Sooner or later, the Seventh Prince would find out that she had escaped to the Hong division's Nian manor.
When the Seventh Prince came to kill her, she would surely die!
Therefore, if she wanted to survive, she had to rely on this vicious woman in front of her.
The slave contract was a one-sided contract of slavery. Its binding force was much stronger than that of ordinary slave contracts, and it was almost impossible to find loopholes to defy the master's orders.
Under such strong constraints, the price was that this contract could only officially take effect if both parties were willing. Otherwise, the contract paper would automatically burn, representing the lack of sincerity in both parties' hearts, wasting the precious contract paper for nothing.
In addition, while the contract was powerful, the backlash would also be very intense, and almost no one could withstand it.
Under the will to survive, the Fifth Imperial Daughter voluntarily signed the slave contract.
The moment she signed her name, she immediately felt an extremely strong and close connection between herself and Nian Tianjiao.
And Nian Tianjiao was almost a puppet in Ming's hands.
"Good girl, Fifth Imperial Daughter, now it's time for me to save you. Come, eat this human medicine and you can recover your strength and avoid the Seventh Prince's pursuit. The entire Nian family will also help you with all their strength… well, in a sense, congratulations, the Nian family has returned to your name."
As Ming giggled and handed over the human medicine, the Fifth Imperial Daughter had already opened the medicine bottle and swallowed the pill inside in one gulp.
As soon as the human medicine entered her stomach, the Fifth Imperial Daughter suddenly widened her eyes in horror, covered her neck, twisted on the ground, and struggled painfully on the ground with blood flowing from all seven orifices.
At this moment, the stone slabs on the ground in the room suddenly moved, and the Seventh Prince went up the stone steps of the secret passage. The first thing he saw was the Fifth Imperial Daughter, who was struggling on the ground as if she had been poisoned to death.
Before he could open his mouth, the Fifth Imperial Daughter stopped moving.
Maintaining the posture of covering her neck, she died miserably, completely lifeless.
